We couldn't be more excited about the future potential of this great bull. Our family made the trip to Canada this summer to attend the once in a lifetime event, the World Angus Forum. As we were watching the bull show at the forum in walked Cowboy Cut. He caught the attention of every one of us. Cowboy Cut is by far the most athletic, free wheeling bull we have ever seen. He has tremendous set to his pasterns, is extremely well balanced with excellent rib shape, muscle and top. There are several judges that seem to agree with our opinion as he had a very impressive 2008 show season including: Bull Calf Champion, AJAA & CJAA Shows; Reserve Grand Champion Bull, "Summer Sizzler" Gold Show; Peoples Choice Champion Bull, CRAPS Summer Tour; Junior Bull Calf Champion, Farmfair International; Legends of the Fall Red Angus Grand Champion; NILE Grand Champion; 2010 NWSS Reserve Grand Champion.

As an ET calf he currently carries parental EPD's. We expect these to get a lot better, based on his individual performance. Cowboy Cut posted a whomping 928 lb 205 adjusted weight and followed that with 1428 lb 365 adj weight, then posted 16.15 REA scan with 3.81 %IMF. A total outcross pedigree in the US with lineage tracing to the great Angus female producer Whitestone Widespread. His Grandsire, Lazy MC Smash 41N was the NO. 1 Red Angus bull for registrations in 2008 in Canada and sired the 2008 Canadian Angus Association Female of the Year. We have several cows that this bull will work extremely well on and look forward to his progeny for years to come.

What came first the chicken or the egg?DO NUMBERS MAKE GOOD BULLS OR DO GOOD BULLS EARN GOOD NUMBERS?

Ever buy a 3 month old bull calf in Canada before you knew what his EPD's were? Or his ratios? Or his scan data? All these questions raced through my mind when Cassie called home the Summer of '08 from Canada and said, "Dad, I'm buying a bull, he is awesome! By the way he is only 3-months old." It was a long 12 months later that we brought this new young sire "Rock Star," home.

He posted some HUGE numbers in his contemporary group, as you can see by his BW, WW, YW Ratios. To top it off his REA scan of 16.38 was just as impressive. We are using this out cross sire to add muscle, rib shape and volume while moderating frame. He is unlike any other Red Angus bull we have ever seen and we are sure he will make an impact in our herd. His dam is tremendous, sound, functional, feminine with a picture perfect udder. His sire stems from the Cinder Smartin' Up bull that has made his mark in several Canadian herds. Rock Star's explosive performance numbers would have to rank him as one of the most appealing outcross sires in the U.S. He is in the top 1% of the breed for weaning weight and yearling weight EPDs. We have progeny coming this spring and are offering SEMEN FOR SALE.

X-Files is an exciting new sire at Solution Genetics that excels at combining calving ease with growth, balance and phenotype. His first calf crop is on the ground. X-Files can now be defined as a proven calving ease sire. Robert Jones of Nebraska A.I.’d 75 head of commercial Red Angus heifers to X-Files in the Spring of 2011. All the females calved with no assistance. The calves were born with lots of vigor. Mr. Jones came back to order 100 units of semen this year. The X-Files calves at Solution Genetics are consistently small at birth, extremely well balanced and exhibit promising traits for growth. Genetically X-Files comes from one of the most proven dams in the Solution Genetic’s herd. Meado-West Persuasion. She is a Cherokee Canyon daughter out of the infamous Thea 107 cow. Birth weights have been 65-70 pounds. Owned with Cinder Angus, Canada.
